We're on ATS, do you have any idea how many times people have made identical claims since I joined 5 years ago?
I'd say we have a year or so left.
Want me to hold you to that?
I'll give you 1 year, 7 months. If we aren't in a state of the collapse of civilization in 1 year and 7 months, will you retract your statement?
